Dr. Hook

Sylvia's Mother

 

Sylvia's Mother

(album: Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show - 1971)


Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's busy
Too busy to come to the phone'
Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's trying
To start a new life of her own'
Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's happy
So why don't you leave her alone?'

And the operator says, '40 cents more for the next 3 minutes'
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's packing
She's gonna be leaving today'
Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's marrying
A fella down Galveston way'
Sylvia's mother says, 'Please don't say nothing
To make her start crying and stay'

And the operator says, '40 cents more for the next 3 minutes'
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Sylvia's mother says, 'Sylvia's hurrying
She's catching the nine o'clock traing
Sylvia's mother says, 'Take your umbrella
Cause Sylvie, it's starting to raing
And Sylvia's mother says, 'Thank you for calling
And, sir, won't you call back again?'

And the operator says, '40 cents more for the next 3 minutes'
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell 'er goodbye

Tell her goodbye

Please
Tell her goodbye

done
